...Albanian song and dance troupe went through its paces, she peered through her thick-lensed glasses, smiled frozenly through buck teeth and applauded energetically. Thus last week, on film released by Peking and shown on Hong Kong TV, the world outside Red China got a rare glimpse of Chiang Ching, 52, the wife of Chairman Mao Tse-tung, Red China's First Lady, and the Cultural Revolution's public fury...
...Dragon Lady? The Red Chinese have lately been seeing and hearing a good deal of Chiang Ching (rhymes with young thing), who only recently emerged from years of obscurity to assume a central role in Mao's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. At first she simply denounced Mao's supposed enemies on the implicit authority carried by her closeness to him. But in the last month or two, the words have been backed by new power.

...Maoist factions roiled the streets of Canton, and north of the city, in Kiangsi province, an army of anti-Mao peasants was reported gathering-and daring Mao's Red Guards to come and fight them.

Such a council would...
...authenticity of poster accounts is as gnawing a problem for foreigners as it is for the Chinese in the streets. After nearly a year's practice at poster exegesis, Sinologists have developed some rules of thumb. When such officials as Mao, Lin Piao or Chiang Ching are quoted directly, the gist of their remarks is likely to be true. So are reports of high-level government meetings and accounts of the arrests of individuals. Less reliable in their detail are reports of bloody clashes, though they undoubtedly indicate that trouble of some sort took place. Attacks on individuals named...
